Best Flower Book for Grand Teton Park

I am a guide in Grand Teton Park and this is the best flower book for my work. Photos of flowers are all in one section making it quicker to find the flower I am trying to identify. Binding is cheap and book starts falling apart with much use or it would have been 5 star.

A botanical travelling companion

The photography is excellent. The line drawings are even more detailed. The descriptions are very useful. The interesting facts are often fascinating. I expect to field test this guide in July when I visit Alaska and British Columbia this summer. That will be the real test.
